You might also be surprised to know that microwave is faster than fiber. Not necessarily more reliable, mind you, but faster.
There's a reason all of the HFT folks are using microwaves.

Only if by 'faster' you are referring exclusively to latency. In some situations (not all) you can achieve slightly better latency with wireless than fiber, but for raw throughout nothing compares to light in glass.
